Rangers

I have had 2 Rangers in the past 5 years and I have loved the style and the comfort, BUT the power of the 4 cylinder is terrible... especially with the a/c on.... the seats are more comfortable then any full size truck I have had.... I have had Chevys and Fords for the past 35 years....

What a Mistake

I sold my Ranger within a year of owning it because it was a mechanical disaster. Firstly, they could never fix the problem of the idle dropping, then the truck stalling. Not what you want in the Rochy Mountains on a hill. Then, the god-awful tranny had several problems which, like the idle problem, they could never fix. I like the interior and the styling, but it wasn't worth it considering the non-existant drivablility factor. I could never trust a Ranger again. I had 13 problems within the first year; the two major problems listed above were never fixed despite returning to the dealer several times. This was my first and last Ford.
